Esteer 6
1 Habeenkaasna boqorkii wuu seexan kari waayay, kolkaasuu amray in loo keeno buuggii taariikhda wakhtigaas, oo waxaa lagu akhriyey boqorka hortiisa.
That night the king was unable to sleep, so he [summoned] a servant [and] told [him] to bring the records of what had happened during all the time he had been king. [So the servant brought the records] and read some of them to the king.
2 Oo waxaa laga dhex helay oo ku qornaa in Mordekay sheegay Bigtaan iyo Teresh oo ahaa boqorka labadiisii midiidin oo ka mid ahaa kuwii iridda dhawri jiray, kuwaas oo doonay inay Boqor Ahashwerus dilaan.
[The servant read about] Bigthana and Teresh, the two men who had guarded the entrance to the king’s rooms. He read the account of when Mordecai had found out that they planned to assassinate the king [and that he had told the king about it].
3 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Taas aawadeed maxaa maamuus iyo derejo ah oo Mordekay loo sameeyey? Kolkaasaa addoommadii boqorka u adeegi jiray waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, Waxba looma samayn.
The king asked [some of his servants], “What did we do to reward Mordecai or show that we appreciate what he did?” The servants replied, “We did not do anything for him.”
4 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Yaa barxadda jooga? Haddaba Haamaan ayaa yimid guriga boqorka barxaddiisa dibadda ah inuu boqorka kala hadlo in Mordekay lagu deldelo qorigii deldelaadda oo uu isaga u diyaariyey.
At that moment, Haman entered the outer courtyard of the palace. He wanted to talk to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had [just] set up. The king [saw him and] said, “Who is [that out there] in the courtyard?”
5 Markaasaa boqorka addoommadiisii waxay isaga ku yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, Haamaan baa taagan barxadda. Kolkaasaa boqorkii yidhi, Ha soo galo.
His servants replied, “That is Haman standing there in the courtyard.” The king said, “Bring him in [here]!”
6 Markaasuu Haamaan soo galay, oo boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Ninkii boqorku ku farxo inuu maamuuso maxaa loo yeelaa? Haddaba Haamaan wuxuu qalbigiisa iska yidhi, Bal yaa boqorku ku farxi lahaa inuu maamuuso in ka badan intuu i maamuuso?
When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should I do for a man whom I want to honor?” Haman thought to himself, “(Whom would the king like to honor more than me?/I think there is no one whom the king would like to honor more than me!)” [RHQ]
7 Oo Haamaan wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Ninkii boqorku ku farxo inuu maamuuso
So he replied to the king, “If there is someone you wish to honor,
8 ha loo keeno dharkii boqornimada oo boqorku xidhan jiray, iyo faraska boqorku fuulo, oo madaxana ha loo saaro taajka boqorka,
you should [tell your servants to] bring him one of the robes you wear [you to show that you are] the king. Also tell them to bring one of the horses you have ridden. Tell them to put a fancy headdress on the horse’s head to show that it belongs to you, the king.
9 oo dharka iyo faraska gacanta ha loo geliyo boqorka amiirradiisa sharafta leh midkood, in loo lebbiso ninkii boqorku ku farxo inuu maamuuso. Oo isaga inta faras la fuushiiyo, jidka magaalada dhexdeeda ha la mariyo, oo hortiisa ha laga naadiyo, Ninkii boqorku ku farxo inuu maamuuso sidaasaa loo yeelaa.
Then tell one of your very important officials to put the robe on the man whom you want to honor, and tell that man to sit on the horse, and then lead the horse through the city streets. And tell that official to keep shouting, ‘This is what (the king does/is doing) for the man whom he wants to honor!’”
10 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Haamaan ku yidhi, Haddaba soo dhaqso, oo waxaad soo qaaddaa dharkii iyo faraskii aad sheegtay, oo wixii aad sheegtay oo dhan u samee Mordekay oo ah Yuhuudiga fadhiya boqorka iriddiisa; oo wixii aad sheegtay oo dhan yaan waxba ka dhinnaan.
The king replied to Haman, “[Fine]! Go and do what you said immediately! Get my robe and my horse, and do just what you suggested! Do it for Mordecai, the Jew, who is sitting [outside] at the gate of the palace. Do not forget anything that you suggested!”
11 Kolkaasaa Haamaan wuxuu soo qaaday dharkii iyo faraskii oo wuxuu u lebbisay Mordekay, oo isagoo faraskii fuushan ayuu mariyey jidka magaalada, oo wuxuu hortiisa ka naadiyey, Sidaasaa loo yeelaa ninkii boqorku ku farxo inuu maamuuso.
So Haman did what the king said. He got the robe and the horse. He put the robe on Mordecai, and as Mordecai sat on the horse, Haman led the horse through the city streets proclaiming “This is what the king (does/is doing) for the man whom the king wants to honor!”
12 Haddaba Mordekay wuxuu mar kale ku soo noqday boqorka iriddiisii. Laakiinse Haamaan isagoo murugaysan oo hagoogan ayuu gurigiisii dhaqso u tegey.
Then, Mordecai returned [and sat] at the gate of the palace. But Haman hurried home, covering his face [because he felt] completely disgraced/humiliated.
13 Markaasaa Haamaan wuxuu naagtiisii Seresh iyo saaxiibbadiis oo dhan uga sheekeeyey wixii isaga ku dhacay oo dhan. Kolkaasaa raggiisii xigmadda lahaa iyo naagtiisii Seresh waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Mordekay oo aad bilowday inaad hortiisa ku dhacdo, hadduu yahay farcanka Yuhuudda, ka adkaan maysid, laakiinse hubaal hortiisaad ku dhici doontaa.
He told his wife Zeresh and his friends everything that had happened to him that day. Then his wife and his friends said to him, “Mordecai, the man who has caused you to be completely disgraced/humiliated, is a Jew. [It is clear that the God whom the Jews worship is fighting for them.] So you will never be able to defeat Mordecai. He will defeat you!”
14 Oo weliba intay isagii la sii hadlayeen waxaa yimid boqorka midiidinnadiisii, oo u soo dhaqsaday inay haddiiba Haamaan keenaan martiqaadkii Esteer diyaarisay.
And while they were still talking, some of the king’s officials arrived to take Haman quickly to the banquet/feast that Esther had prepared.
